Hey I'm blogging from my blackberry. I'm still at school and the teacher isn't coming to my class.
Geez I'm so bored. Anyways,
I am interested in reading Rahasia Meede: Harta Karun VOC. A historical novel my teacher told the class about, and I bet it must be good (I guess?) And oh, anyone can tell me which author is the best at greek mythology? Cause I'm currently in love with it!
Well actually,
My bookshelf is full already. But I, of course, want to have some more. I CAN'T get rid of good books!
Geek I am.
Who cares. Expanding horizons is so cool.

Story of Ares and Annabel
18th of July, Summer 2014.
I was looking down the streets behind the Shanghai Arts Building. 9 P.M and it was still crowded with the crews around. I had just performed in a musical. Being one of the dancers, for me, was a great great accomplishment. I've loved dancing since high school, and I applied a form to the Shanghai School of Performing Arts. People told me that they were opening an audition for a musical. I got accepted, and well here I am.
"There you are! What are you doing here?"
That was Blair, my dancer friend.
"Hi, B! I'm just... I don't know," I laughed, "what am I doing here?"
She laughed, "Ah, let me guess. You're looking for some fresh air?"
"Um, yeah I guess I am.." I answered.
Blair took a seat next to me. She looked just great with the glittery make-ups she hadn't cleaned yet. "I was just wondering, hmm."
"About what?" asked I.
"How is Ares doing?"
My heartbeat stopped. "Ares? Why would you ask that to me?"
"Come on, Anne. Everybody knows you're both in love with each other. You guys are together right?"
I sighed. Yeah right, everybody knew.
Everybody but us.
"Were. I don't know, B.."
"What do you mean, you don't know?"
"I..."
"Guess who." Two big hands closed Blair's eyes.
"Hey! I know who you are... Enrique!" She laughed. He laughed and released her face.
"Hey Annabel, how was the show?"
I smiled, "Hi, it was a wrap, anyway."
"I shouldn't have asked," he smiled and shook my hand, "well Blair, I guess it's time for me to drive you home?"
"Guess it is." She smiled so wide at him, then kissed my cheek goodbye, and in a second she was already in Enrique's car. I, myself, took a glimpse at the opened back door, and got inside to take my super huge bag.
....
I stood in Helmingway street, tried to catch taxi. It was a little hard to catch a taxi around the building this late. A light blinded my eyes, but that was a light I recognized. His car's.
That mini cooper I had been in hundred times, stopped in front of me. His eyes met mine. He studied my expression.
"Annabel? Is that you? What are you doing?"
I gasped. I still couldn't believe that I'd meet him, in a place like this. "Y-yeah it's me. I'm waiting for a taxi to get home. You?"
"Geez why didn't you call?" he got out of the car and walked me to the passanger door, "I'll drive you home, okay? Oh and wear this, you're cold." He took his jacket off and gave it to me. God, I still remembered his smell. That manly smell I've always adored. I didn't complain. Yes I was cold, and had nothing but a Yuan in my pocket. I didn't really know the way from here to my apartment. And I miss him. He opened the door and got me inside.
He came in. He looked at my face. He really knew how to grow a smile on his already beautiful face. And on mine too. "So, your apartment huh?"
"Only if you want to."
He sighed. "Well," and drove his car through the bright streets.
...
I turned my apartment's light on. The very same apartment he and I studied, watched movies, and cooked, back in high school. 2010. I let him in, still wearing his jacket. I turned the heater on.
"Shoot it's not working. I forgot to tell the apartment owner that it's broken."
He laughed, "Well then you're just gonna have to wear my jacket on... til morning comes."
You're staying?
"Well, I'm having a bad cough actually. And a heavy flu."
"Well, I'm always a Hercules."
My Hercules.
"Okay then. Hey, do you want a cup of tea? Or coffee?" I asked him.
"Coffee will be nice."
I took a few steps to the pantry. Made a cup of coffee, and poured a glass of milk. I watched him from here, how beautiful he was. How gentle and pure his behavior was. How I missed him so much, I could never tell.
"Here," I said as I handed him the cup. "No sugar."
"You still remember that?" He laughed and made a crooked smile.
"Sure I do. I used to make you 2 cups everyday, remember?"
His smile grew even wider, "Course."
I sit on the classic couch, next to him, holding my glass of milk. "Strawberry," he mumbled.
I throw my head on the couch pillow. "And you remember that."
He sighed. His eyes studied the whole room, and stopped at one point. I realized, and moved my sight to where his eyes had stopped. "Is that my guitar?"
I really didn't notice that it had been there all along the years. I thought it was already taken by people from the apartment's cleaning service department, years ago. "I think so. Geez I didn't notice that it's still here, seriously."
He walked to the guitar and took it, played the intro of a song both he and I always sang back in high school times. David Cook, Always Be My Baby.
"We were as one, babe, for a moment in time, and it seemed everlasting that you would always be mine..." He gazed at me. "Come on, sing along."
"Now you wanna be free.. So I'm letting you fly..." I sang. Watching his fingers playing the guitar, and smiled in astonishment.
"Cause you know in my heart, babe, our love will never die, no.."
"You'll always be a part of me, I'm a part of you definitely. Girl don't you know you can't escape me, oh darling cause you'll always be my baby. I will linger on, time can't erase a feeling this strong.. No way you're never gonna shake me, oh darling cause you'll always be my baby."
He stopped playing and for the 100th time tonight, his eyes met mine.
"I miss you."
"I've missed you. Always have. Always do," he said, with that killer smile every girl would die for to have one from him. "Come here."
I put my head in his chest. His hug was still the same, comfortable, bear hug. I smelled his perfume, long. I never knew I could feel this happy with somebody I never met for such a long time. He kissed the top of my hair, releasing his hug.
"I have to go," he stated.
"No you don't," I asked. My head's still in his chest.
"Annabel," he called my name.
I sighed and finally released him. Looked him in the eyes.
"I have to go now..." he caressed my cheeks. I kept quiet in disagreement. He smiled and continued, "we're gonna have to do some catch-ups, alright?"
"Seriously in need."
He laughed, stroked my hair. "Tomorrow. I'll pick you up. Are you still dancing?"
"Yes I am, guess where!"
"Huh? New York Ballet Academy?"
I shook my head. Smiled. He read my smile. And,
"GOD! SHANGHAI SCHOOL OF PERFORMING ARTS?"
I nodded, laughed out loud. He reflexly hugged me once again. "I can't believe you finally made it, Anne! I'm so proud. What else did I miss??"
"Much!!! But you said you gotta go.."
"Yeah.. So tomorrow it is! I'll pick you up, at the dream school?" He winked. We laughed and I hit him with a pillow.
"Yes please!" I was still in excitement.
"Okay I gotta go. Let me walk you to bed okay?" I didn't disagree.
I got in to bed. He pulled the blanket over me. "Thank you, so much, Ar."
"Course. Now sleep," he stroked my hair and whispered, "sleep tight."

....amin!
Nic :*
Hi again! So I've just finished watching Gie on youtube... I know, that sucks. (so who's willing to lend me the DVD??)
All I can say is Nicholas Saputra is the perfect cast for Gie's role!! Course! No doubt. Who else?! Doh! OK. Sorry for the inconvenience.
BUT HE IS!!!! OK stop.
And I love his words... And poems... Trust me, every poem Nico reads isn't cheesy at all. You can italic and bold that statement so it becomes this: every poem Nico reads isn't cheesy at all!
I started marking the quotes from this scene,
Ira: Gie, soal kemarin malam
Gie: Kemarin malam? Kenapa? Ada yang salah ya?
Ira: Em, nggak. Saya cuma mau bilang, kamu baik sekali. *left*
Ira itu sahabat gue. Dan gue hormat sama dia. Jangan disamain sama yang beginian.
-Gie to Maulana
Maulana: Gie sori Gie.. Sori lah..... Sori ya...
Gie and others: *laughed out loud*
Gie: Intinya, kita tidak boleh menerima nasib buruk, dan menganggapnya sebagai jalan hidup yang telah ditentukan bagi kita. Pasrah menerimanya sebagai kutukan. Kalau kita ingin bebas, kita harus belajar terbang.
Herman: *ngorok*
Gie: WOI sialan lo. Bangun!
GIRLS!! You have to see his face, I was like OMG!
Saya suka sekali melihat hujan. Hmm, membaui hujan. Kamu, Gie?
-Sinta
Sinta: Gie, kamu rikuh ya kalau berduaan sama saya begini?
Gie: Hah?
Sinta: Iya, kalau kamu lagi berduaan sama saya gini rikuh gak? Perasaan kamu gimana?
....
Sinta: Gie?
Gie: Hah? Kamu ngomong apa tadi?
*kissed*
Memang Ira masih disini, menjadi asisten dosen Sejarah Indonesia. Tapi kami masih rikuh untuk bicara. Tentu kamu mengerti sebabnya.
-Gie to Herman, on his mail.
(Herman was in Papua doing some research.)
"Lebih baik saya diasingkan daripada menyerah pada kemunafikan."
-Soe Hok Gie
And That's How Much We've Missed
You still have a way of making me smile, or grin.. Always have, always will.
And for that, I'm thanking you.
Telling U, Only One Man Can Guess.
I say, "Not talking and moving on aren't the same."
(mm, how do we move on from ones we didn't even love, btw?)
So,
I'm not saying that I love you so much,
Well,
That's gonna look pathetic.
I think I just miss talking to you.
So,
Ping me hello.
And we'll guess what happens next,
aight?
Change!
Yay! Anyways!
I changed my layout tonight. Any betterrrrrr?
:-)
Well, thanks if you notice.
And still thanks if you don't. Hope you guys like it.
XX, Srn.
Ini juga keren loh!
Yang ini dari AADC. Nicholas Saputra juga!
Perempuan, datang atas nama cinta
Bunda pergi, karena cinta
Digenangi air racun jingga adalah wajahmu
Seperti bulan lelap tidur di hatimu
Yang berdinding kelam dan kedinginan
Ada apa dengannya?
Tinggalkan hati untuk dicaci
Lalu sekali ini aku lihat karya surga dari mata seorang hawa
Ada apa dengan cinta?
Tapi aku pasti akan kembali, dalam suatu purnama
Untuk mempertanyakan kembali cintanya
Bukan untuknya, bukan untuk siapa
Tapi untukku
Karena aku ingin kamu
Itu saja
-Puisi akhir Rangga, from the movie Ada Apa Dengan Cinta
P.S: Who wouldn't love a guy this smart?
Ini keren bgt loh! loh! loh!
Ini puisi yg ada di film Gie.
Yang bawain, Nicholas Saputra! Woohoo!
Akhirnya semua akan tiba pada suatu hari yang biasa
Pada suatu ketika yang telah lama kita ketahui
Apakah kau masih selembut dahulu?
Memintaku minum susu dan tidur yang lelap
Sambil membenarkan letak leher kemejaku
Kabut tipis pun turun pelan-pelan di lembah kasih
Lembah pandalawangi
Kau dan aku tegak berdiri, melihat hutan-hutan yang menjadi suram
Meresapi belaian angin yang menjadi dingin
Apakah engkau masih membelaiku semesra dahulu?
Ketika kudekap, kau dekaplah lebih mesra
Lebih dekat
Apakah engkau masih akan berkata?
Kudengar detak jantungmu
Kita begitu berbeda dalam semua
Kecuali dalam cinta
-Puisi Cahaya Bulan, from the movie Gie
Future Chase #1
Hello again buds! I, as a wrote on my last post, just have nothing better to do so yeah here I am. And there you are, reading this.
So I've been joining this course 'Bintang Merah'. A course for ones who's interested in art and design, especially for college. I'm focusing on Faculty of Art And Design in Institut Teknik Bandung, the legendary T e c h n i s c h e H o g e s c h o o l !
Of course we learn to.....well, draw. As for today, we continued drawing 'Coak dan Tambahan Bidang' from last encounter. That's sort of like reduction and addition. Fun.
In last minutes, the teacher wanted us to put our sketches on the white board and see it from our tables. Whoa my class has got some serious talents! What I remember most is that:
andWhat judges see first is one that is catchy
Jangan takut menggambar
Sir yes sir! Wish me luck!
Me Not Knowin What I'm Doin Blah.
Yello! Not so much to do, so i guess i'm just going to post photos from
my (sadly, yet hopefully) last independence day convoy in highschool,
just a few days ago.
THESE!
don't look at my face just don't, not now.
now you can
ciyeee
carpark
the one that's holding the national flag is riris. yeah ignore her :p haha ga deng...
bright!
under the tree
Go Indo!
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY, INDONESIA!
I'm feeling honored writing on here as an Indonesian! :)
We're all hoping for the best for our lovely, great country. So much to do with the government, and the people too. If you want to be critical, it's not enough, saying and telling all those bad things about our own government, which, ends in other countries' low honor to Indonesia, well, to us!
What about start loving our national songs.. Watching our great movies.. Standing proud in school flag ceremonies.. Well, I haven't been this far :p or at least! On independence day? One day won't kill for students like us, will it?
I, myself, downloaded 18 soundtracks* of Indonesian movies today: Ada Apa Dengan Cinta, Gie, and Alexandria. Downloaded 1 song from Realita Cinta dan Rock n Roll, too. A little appreciation for our locals.
Show your love, young minds!
*P.S: KNOW WHAT? THEY'RE GOOD. Classics are always the best ;)

Otak keputer-puter bikin scoring musik,
Tangan kapalan ngerjain artistik,
Nyamain gerakan kaki dan tangan pake kain,

Jutaan anak panah dan ribuan tombak
Mengalir silih berganti
Cipratan darah menutupi tanah
Tentaraaaaa lukaaaaaa"
dan yang selalu diingat:
"Masanyaaaa tlah tibaaaa di akhiiiir penaaantiaaan
Membawa jawaban... Penantian berbuah luka...
Dia tau (dia pasti tau!)
Dia tau (dia pasti tau!)
Hanya dia yang tau!
Dia tau (dia pasti tau!)
Dia tau (dia pasti tau!)
Hanya dia yang tau!
Seperti apa akhirnya, seperti apa akhirnyaaaa
Dia tau, dia tau, dia tau, dia tau,
Tret.
